Turkish FM declares end of "Cold War" with Armenia

11 June 2009 [10:24] - TODAY.AZ
The period of cold war between Turkey and Armenia has ended, therefore, Ankara is waiting for the visit of President Serzh Sargsyan, said Turkish FM Ahmet Davutoghlu.
"The period of "cold war" has completed", Davutoghlu said on the board of a plane on the way to Afghanistan.

He considers that a concept of enemy is already absent in the relations between Turkey and Armenia.

"Our relations with Israel serve for Palestine. Azerbaijan also sees that our relations with Armenia serves its interests", said the Turkish FM.

Davutoghlu also commented on possible visit of Serzh Sargsyan to Turkey to watch an October football match between the national teams of Tirkey and Armenia.

"It is highly unlikely that Sargsyan will refuse to come to Turkey if borders are not open. We would be upset. In case relations deteriorate, the possibility of his visit equals zero. This is too bad", said the Minister.

"If he (Sargsyan) considers that the process is moving forward, the possibility of his visit to Turkey is very high, which is the best variant", noted the Turkish FM.
